I'm sorry I'm not beautiful.
I'm sorry I'm not lovely.
I'm sorry I, more often than not,
turn to the blade before I turn
to you.
I'm sorry I'm not strong enough.
I'm sorry I can't save everyone;
I'm sorry I can barely save myself.
I'm sorry I'm a failure.
I'm sorry that I keep writing
rubbish poems, just like this one.
I'm sorry that I'm not smart,
and I'm sorry I have nothing
going for me.
I'm sorry that you have to deal with me.
And, lastly, I'm sorry for
being such a burden.
